Ebb-stanes on the shore at Hoswick, Shetland

Landscape, line and family memory in a collection of contemporary Shetland knitwear

The tide is a moving line, revealing (and hiding) stones on the beach at Hoswick as it ebbs and flows. In Shetland these stones and pebbles are called Ebb-stanes. This shifting, natural border is so different from the man-made borders we see elsewhere.

I was thinking about line in landscape and the differences between a tide mark, a path and something much more fixed. My father was Indian, and our family became overnight refugees when a new border was drawn in 1947—The Partition of India.

These thoughts and explorations of the concept of borders became my Ebb-stanes collection. A Shetland landscape-inspired pattern is overlaid or interfaced with line, or set in neat panels. Some garments are asymmetric in design; the soft, extra-fine merino yarn gives the most beautiful finish to the array of colours.
